Special investigation report from Yokohama

Osamu Dazai felt bad.

As a troublemaker recognized by the three major supernatural organizations in Yokohama, a tactician of a detective agency, and a heart-to-heart who plays routines, he dares to swear on the hat of a slug that the guy named "Tsurumaru Kuninaga" is absolutely, absolutely When I handed it over to myself, I foresaw the current scene.

This is the scene of the celebration banquet after the "Standard Island Incident".Of course, it wasn't the scene promised by Hongyao, it was prepared by Fukuzawa Yukichi for the members of the detective agency.Since Izumi Kyouka also participated in this operation as a non-staff member, Fukuzawa Yukichi also invited her guardian Koyaku to attend.

Hong Yao is already familiar with everyone in the detective agency, and no one minds that there are two non-detective agency members in the banquet hall.At the beginning of the banquet, Hongyao walked across the venue and chatted with Fukuzawa Yukichi, and then went to the self-service area with a plate.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was addicted to this place, bit the strawberry mousse and glanced at her.

"Mr. Ranpo." Hong Yao greeted politely.

Edogawa Ranpo glanced at her again.

"... Mr. Ranpo?"

"The snacks you sent last time were all crabmeat flavored!" Edogawa Ranpo swallowed the mousse forcefully, reminding him with wide eyes.

Snack from last time?Hong Yao thought about it and remembered.Last time, it was to thank Dazai, but Dazai was not at the detective agency, so the snacks were left for Ranpo... She instantly understood what Edogawa Ranpo meant.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ranpo." She replied firmly, "Next time there won't be any smell of crab meat."

Edogawa Ranbu's emerald green eyes glanced to the other side of the dining table indiscriminately.

"Hmph," the detective made a soft voice; he raised his head and declared proudly, "Master Ranpo is the detective agency, no, the smartest person in the world!"

Hong Yao didn't pay attention to his movements, but there was nothing wrong with her words, she nodded cooperatively: "I agree with that. Mr. Ranpo is really powerful."

Edogawa Ranpo continued to look at her.

Hong Yao: ...she seemed to understand something.

Thinking about the reason why she gave Dazai snacks in the first place, she coughed lightly: "Mr. Ranpo, I have a request..."

Edogawa Ranpo immediately said, "I want red bean crisps and edamame Daifuku!"

"Pfft, cough...Okay."

I have to say that a famous detective is much cuter than a troublemaker.

After the conversation with Ranpo Edogawa ended, Koyaku left the table with a plate.At this time, there was a wry smile from the other side of the dining table. Osamu Dazai slowly straightened up and glanced at Hong Yao's back: "Mr. Ranpo, this..."

"You also snatched my commission." Edogawa Luanbu put down the clip and waved his hand, "It's even."

He was talking about the case that Hongyao brought from Tokyo. Osamu Dazai could only smile wryly again, acquiescing to Edogawa Ranpo's arrangement.

Anyway, Hong Yao, who was angry, would not see him.

A fool is a fool.Edogawa Ranpo picked up a piece of apple pie and took a bite in satisfaction.

Even if the opportunity is handed to him, he still pretends not to see it, so he can't blame Mr. Detective for taking the opportunity to earn snacks.

Not far away, Izumi Kyoka and Atsushi Nakajima, who came to get food together, looked at each other, and saw the same bewilderment in each other's eyes as they did themselves.

what happened?

Although he doesn't know when Mr. Ranpo said "the last time", but he knows that because of Mr. Ranpo, Hongyao often sends snacks to the detective agency.They are basically freshly baked dim sum, everyone's taste will be taken care of, but because of Mr. Dazai's obsession with crab meat, every time the taste of crab meat is his by default.

Crab meat is not a common taste, but the dim sum she brought never fails. In addition, Mr. Oda mentioned that they have known each other for a long time. Everyone tacitly agrees that Miss Hongyao and Mr. Dazai have a very good relationship.The result is now...

Where is the slightest friendliness here?

Atsushi Nakajima thought about it, and went to look for the red medicine with a plate.

"Dun?" Hong Yao looked at the little guy who approached him, a little surprised, "What's the matter?"

"Ah... Well, actually, I came to thank Miss Hongyao." Nakajima Atsushi said cautiously, "When we were on the island, it was Mr. Tsurumaru Kuninaga who saved us..."

The corners of Hong Yao's lips curled up: "I heard what Jinghua said. At that time, even without Tsurumaru, you would definitely be able to defeat Gabe, so thank you."

When Atsushi Nakajima heard this, he smiled embarrassedly: "Miss Hongyao is too much, I actually..."

Speaking of this, the boy's smile gradually disappeared, and he said with some guilt: "It was Mr. Dazai who sacrificed himself to interrupt Gabu's supernatural power. If it weren't for Mr. Tsurumaru, Mr. Dazai would have..."

That was an unacceptable ending for a boy, so Nakajima Atsushi is extremely grateful to Tsurumaru Kuninaga and his master Koyaku.

"Mr. Tsurumaru handed over the guard to Mr. Dazai on his own initiative, and it was because I was in a hurry to ask Mr. Dazai to deal with the 'shell' of the supernatural weapon that prevented him from catching up in time." Atsushi Nakajima explained eagerly, "That, If Miss Hongyao had any misunderstanding..."

... This kid is too imaginative.

Hong Yao laughed.She put down the plate, put a hand on the young man's shoulder, and said with a serious expression, "Dun Jun, do I look like someone who likes to vent anger casually?"

"Ah——no, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Atsushi Nakajima panicked, "Miss Hongyao can ignore my offense and save Jinghua again, and she has always been so kind to me...I mean ,that--"

Hong Yao laughed out loud.

"Well, if that's the case, what are you worried about?"

Also, also.Miss Hongyao is so nice, he must have misunderstood... right?

Atsushi Nakajima sighed with relief: "It's good that you're not angry..."

"Of course not," he heard Hong Yao answer softly, "It's just that I collude with others to trick me, then pretend to have amnesia to deceive me, and even install a box of bugs in my house. How can I Will be angry?"

Atsushi Nakajima: ...

Ahhh, this is already very angry, right?Mr. Dazai, what have you done? !

The little tiger who was shocked left the scene in a daze. Hong Yao watched him leave, couldn't help smiling, and was dragged away to the women's team of the clerks with Yosano Akiko.

The social doctor of the detective agency held up the decanter and motioned to her: "Have a drink?"

Red medicine: a little heartbeat.

Looking at her expression, Xie Ye guessed: "You haven't had a drink, have you?"

"I drink a little Tusu wine during the Chinese New Year." Hong Yao told the truth.Seeing a smile on Yosano Akiko's face, she coughed lightly: "What's the matter? Is it unusual that you haven't had a drink?"

"No, no." Yosano Akiko looked at Hong Yao's angry look, a little surprised and a little funny.

I still remember the first time she saw Hongyao in the Vortex Cafe, she spoke elegantly and with restraint, and she was completely the image of an imposing superior.After that, although she visited the detective agency many times and gradually became acquainted with everyone, the image of being very distant when they first met has remained.

That is to say, the atmosphere at the celebration banquet was relatively relaxed, and Hong Yao was invited as "Izumi Jinghua's guardian" rather than "the ally of the detective agency", so Xie Ye would bring Hong Yao to the clerk's side Otherwise, in her capacity, it's time to have a drink with Fukuzawa Yukichi now.

So this girl has this personality in private?

It's not surprising when you think about it, after all, she is only in her early twenties, which is not a mature and stable age.Yu Xie Ye poured a small glass of red wine with a smile, and urged her: "Have a taste? It's okay, I'll contact your subordinates to take you back when I'm drunk."

Hongyao: ...that's not the case.

The red wine is not a few degrees higher than Tusu wine, and the red medicine does not drink because it is not because of the lack of alcohol, but because of the daily requirements for combat readiness.Alcohol would affect the commander's ability to judge, after all, she had been in office for many years, and of course she would not make such a low-level mistake.

She clinked glasses with Akiko Yosano and heard her say: "We ran into the former secretary of the group when we were on Standard Island. Thanks to him for helping us, otherwise I might not be able to make it to the pier before the fall of Standard Island." .But I didn't see him again when I got to the pier."

Hearing this, Hong Yao looked at her in surprise.The group went bankrupt, so there was no need to conceal Tsurumaru's identity, and Hongyao replied calmly and helplessly: "Tsurumaru went to do other things. He's used to being free, and I can't control him much."

Of course Xie Ye could hear this seemingly complaining but actually intimate tone.She just asked about that person's whereabouts out of gratitude, and seeing that Hong Yao wasn't too worried, she felt relieved and chatted with her about other topics.

But Hong Yao answered lightly, but she was still uneasy.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga's blade, although he can make Quan Honmaru worry about it all by himself, but as a well-informed ancient peace sword, he is still very reliable in major matters.When Hong Yao took office, his experience was shallow, and there were not many knives that could both convince the public and make decisions on major issues.Tsurumaru, Yingmaru, the first phase—her management skills are basically learned from these former Honmaru veterans.

Later, only Crane Maru was left in the three-strike knife, and Hong Yao didn't say anything, but she still relied on him to some extent in her heart.When she came to this world, she protected both Ran and Imamen by her side, but when facing Tsurumaru, she was very relieved to let him decide the direction of action by himself, out of the trust that "Tsurumaru Kuni will never lose the chain".

Of course, just like him before, Tsurumaru never failed her trust even though they were separated for four years.From the beginning of the investigation of the retrograde army to the lurking in the "Combined Attack" incident, Tsurumaru, who was alone during this period, had never even had any contact with Hongyao, but insisted on relying on the years of accumulated experience with the God Judge. There was a tacit understanding and a wonderful cooperation that determined the outcome.

——This is also the reason why Tsurumaru did not stop Hong Yao when the Moby Dick incident ended.The miss is the miss, she believes that what Tsurumaru would rather miss the reunion with her to do must be important enough for him to make such a choice.

result……

Say it is important, and it is indeed important; say it is the key, it is indeed the key.but--

he!Found Wells!Let her use supernatural powers to send his consciousness back to four and a half years ago!

No wonder he was vague when facing her inquiry, forgive him for not daring to tell the whole plan honestly.The safe working time of Wells' supernatural ability is only 55 minutes. Even if Fu Sangshen's consciousness needs much less energy to travel through time and space than human consciousness, this kind of behavior is too risky.Without enough energy protection, without a solid enough anchor point to guide, it seems easy to get lost in the endless time and space.

But what he went back was the consciousness, not the body. Hong Yao was afraid that the two energy systems would conflict, and he didn't dare to use the ability of the God Judge to pull the blade back directly, so he could only worry about the body knife.

This kind of mood is not humane, Hong Yao didn't let Xie Ye see his worries, and cooperated with her to chat about other topics.
